A personalized United Rugby Championship brief — only your club.
The Playbook is a personalized AI-generated daily sports newsletter delivered every morning at 6 AM ET. Subscribers pick their teams across 18 leagues — including the United Rugby Championship — and receive one custom newspaper-style broadsheet covering only those teams.
For URC supporters, that means a daily named-section beat on your club — the same length, the same format and the same fact-checking as the Premier League section three columns over. It is written in rugby’s own words: tries and bonus points, the scrum, the lineout and the breakdown, and the log rather than a table borrowed from somebody else’s sport.
Pick yours
Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Italy and South Africa — five of the league’s countries, in the clubs above. This is what is on sale today; a URC club that is not in that grid cannot be picked yet, and the page will say so until it can.
The result. The log. Bonus points. The next fixture.
Every issue covers your URC club’s daily story — the last result (if there was one), the next fixture and where it is played, recent form as a W/D/L run, and the club’s full row on the league table: played, won, drawn, lost, log points, bonus points with the try bonus and the losing bonus counted separately, tries for and against, and points difference. The day’s news about the club rides alongside it, dated and credited to the outlet that filed it. The longer Subscriber Deep Dive (paid tier) adds editorial framing tailored to whether the club has just played, is a day out from a fixture, has a rest day, or is between seasons.
Every brief passes a two-dozen-plus-rule fact-check validator before sending. The validator catches transferred players assigned to former clubs, score mismatches, fabricated stats, impossible game states, and stale year references. Critical violations trigger an automatic re-prompt; if a transferred-player leak survives the retry, the offending sentence is redacted before delivery.
A rugby table is decided by bonus points as much as by wins.
A four-try win and a one-point defeat both move the log, which is why a result read as nothing but win-or-lose tells a URC supporter almost nothing. The Playbook connects the scoreline to what it did to the standings — the try bonus taken or missed, the losing bonus banked, the points difference that settles a tie at the end of the season — and then to the set piece underneath it. A league this spread out is also the one most often compressed: follow Zebre or the Ospreys and you get a section every morning, filed to the same template as Leinster’s, whether or not the club was on television that weekend.
See how a section actually reads
The published samples are real subscriber editions with names removed. None of them happens to carry a United Rugby Championship section — they are whole editions from particular mornings, not per-league mock-ups — but the format is the one your club gets: a named section, filed the same way, every day.
